Me: Well, I said it's a "fine day", isn't it? Even today?
Ash: All in ChibiCon!!
Goh: Looks like it's two "fine days", if you ask me - yesterday and today as usual?
Me: Well, sure, and you're right. And this would be the tenth edition, at least according to Japan Culture Daisuki - somehow I lost count myself.
Pikachu: Pika, pika, pika... [counting]
Me: But does it matter. Anyhow, I think this is pretty much the same old, same old convention, so we don't have to touch on the actual convention details too much. Well, maybe aside from what's different this time.
Goh: Aside from not sending Ash yesterday.
Me: Well, Mega Skarmory is a priority, no matter how close or far away. So I took care of that myself yesterday and saved a bit of effort and cash. As for today...
Ash: They made the music stage a part of the traffic flow! And there were a lot more booths - or that's what it felt like.
Me: OK, what else?
Goh: Hi again!
Pikachu: Pika pika! ["There he is!"]
Ash: Goh is here! From the beginning too. But I was sent with my Sinnoh outfit...
Goh: I think it looks great.
Ash: Well, you know, so does my friend's girl fan, and - she's here too!
Goh: Hey, thanks for showing her to me. You know, the one who sent me has a lot in common with her.
Ash: I think we're finding out about that now with all our friends!
Goh: Including... the brother of the one who sent me, who deals with the public transport booth.
Me: Hey now, this sounds like it's going to be a Pokémon adventure at the convention - so let's focus on that instead of the convention itself.
Ash: Yeah! So before I got in, I met one of your Pokémon friends who likes dance groups and stuff. Then after I got in, I met another one who used to play with you and makes drawings and comics.
Goh: I saw that too. Your girl fan really liked the stickers.
Pikachu: Pika chu. ["That she does."]
Ash: I do too. Our friend said he wanted a comic book of his, so I got it.
Me: Thanks! This is an excellent setup for that. I may never know when I'll meet him again.
Ash: Many of the other booths had really nice Pokémon stuff too... but I'm sure our friend isn't going for that right now.
Me: Yeah - I'm still in a kind of a pinch even though I could get some more. So now is not really the time.
Ash: Oh, um, but I missed the ICC thing. It was today, wasn't it.
Well, you're with us today. Don't worry about it.
Me: Like Goh said. So, what else happened on this Pokémon adventure?
Ash: We toured for all kinds of Pokémon things, even up until your girl fan and Goh had to go back.
Goh: I'll join you back for the summary after that.
Ash: Sure! We'll talk again in a bit.
Me: That Goh is really something, isn't he?
Ash: And so's the person who sent him - it's kind of, well...
Pikachu: Pika pika... ["It's more than him..."]
Me: Oh, I gotcha. It's a thing about being spiritually "above and beyond", isn't it?
Ash: Um... yeah!
Me: I'll say.
Ash: Besides Goh, I also met Rei and Akari from Hisui! And... there was another one of me in my Kanto and Johto outfit!
Me: Wow!! A whole lot more characters from Pokémon today.
Ash: I thought we saw James too - but we couldn't check or find him again. And there was also a plain Trainer - I guess, in a way.
Pikachu: Pika pika chu! ["I can vouch!"]
Goh: I'm back! I just heard that bit about other characters too. That had to be quite fun.
Me: You know, this was the most Pokémon-filled one of any festival or convention I've sent Ash to so far. It blew the others out of the water.
Ash: Everyone went "all in", like the ditty.
Goh: That is it.
Me: If this is the way it's going to go down for ChibiCon in the future... then sure, "all in" with Pokémon it is, just like today.
Ash: Yeah!
Me: It's always a fine time if Pokémon is going to be involved - and that will so be the case.
